Handshakes are had. "Nice to meet you Sakura, I already knew how to take care of books...but maybe I should ask them anyway so they like me sooner?" He wonders if the librarian assumes he is baseline bad with books like a lot of children are, he should reassure them he is not. "I would like to be able to check books out soon, I want to learn how to use my chakra a lot".

"Yeah! Same! There's so much cool stuff, too... I found some history books, and some theory books, and some botany books..."

"That's neat, I have a list of priorities to study so I don't get distracted, Chakra, Ninjutsu, Seals, and then recipe books because I have to cook at home".

Kouji looks a little irritated. "Been a bit stuck on how to use chakra, the most promising thing I've found was that book on meditation but I already know how to sense my chakra, I want to do things with it, stick to trees or make clones or Genjutsu." Kouji seems a lot more animated than usual talking about the cool things you can do with chakra.

"I can ask my dad! He's a retired shinobi, so he's gotta know."

"That would be great! clan kids get all sorts of tutors for this kind of thing, I don't want to have to wait for school to learn it". Kouji does a polite little bow to Sakura. "It would be so great if you could ask your dad".

"Heh. Mom probably knows more but she's on missions a bunch."

"I don't need your dad to know everything, pretty much anything he can teach me is good!. Are you gonna go ask him and tell me what you learn next time you see me? or can we go ask him now?."

Eeeee ninja magic!.

"He's not at home right now. So I'll have to ask him when he gets back. That's this afternoon."

"Should we share what we've found so far until then?. Unless...you have something else to do...then it's fine if you tell me when I see you at school I guess." He very much hopes sakura isn't busy today!.

"I'm not busy. Was just gonna read."

"Great! I will be here reading also so when you think your dads gonna be home just poke me out of whatever book I am reading?."

Kouji finds a desk and reads the very basic and not very useful primers he has found. By the time Sakura is ready to go he will be reading a book on how ninja tools are forged, so much for keeping to his study list.

She'll giggle and point that out.

Kouji has an embarrased look and puts down the book. “I got distracted by reading about chakra weapons and then reading about how ninja tools like those are forged...”.

“Is it time to go?”. Kouji can’t wait to learn how to use Chakra!.

"Yeah!"

Time to follow the tiny Sakura to her dad's house to talk with him. Sakura is nice he hopes she doesn't get all annoyed at Naruto at the academy like in canon so they can all be friends together.

Her dad's the only one home when they arrive, and he seems delighted Sakura's made a new friend. He introduces himself as Haruno Kizashi and asks Kouji if he wants anything to eat or drink. "All that studying's thirsty work, after all!" he declares, laughing.

"Anything sweet to drink is fine with me please." Does a very polite little bow to Sakura's dad, he seems nice.

"Sakura told me you were a shinobi mister Haruno? could you teach me how to use my Chakra? I start at the academy soon."

"Juice it is. And I can give you some pointers - have more time on my hands these days," he says.

“Thank you very much mister Haruno.”

And Kouji hopefully learns how to do something with his Chakra.

Mister Haruno teaches him how to stick a leaf to his forehead - it's an early exercise, and he warns them it can be dangerous to try to do much more without supervision, since it's easy to exhaust yourself.

Sakura gets it on the first try, then starts giggling and sticking random flowers to herself.

He also gets it on the first try, he can feel how the energy is leaving his skin and tugging at the leaf.

Kouji starts giggling maniaclly, if he was an adult it would be the greatest maniacal villian laugh but he is 7 so it is just adorable instead.

”This is great! Im doing real magic! Take that physics I will bend you to my will!” getting a little over excited with all this.

She giggles. "Physics is no match for us!"

“Can i push things away too mister Haruno? Or should I have more practice first?.” As impatient as he is to start exprimenting with chakra, he knows it is dangerous and listening to the experts is the safe thing to do.

"Pushing's a bit easier to overdo, but is possible."
